Tuck yourself away on the captivating Rendezvous coast of St John at the charming Altamira, where sting rays and turtles splash in the clear waters below. This sophisticated ocean-view villa accommodates up to eight guests and is close to alluring tropical beaches, water sports activities, and hiking trails. The picturesque beachside bars and restaurants of Cruz Bay are only a ten-minute drive away.

While the dreamy Monte Bay beach is just a short walk from the villa, it’s well worth visiting the various idyllic coves along the coast. Scuba and snorkel among the coral and dolphins at nearby Fish Bay and Rendezvous Bay, and head to the northern beaches for the best chance of spotting turtles. If you can escape the allure of the ocean, explore the Caribbean architecture and vibrant shops at Mongoose Junction in Cruz Bay. This town is also your gourmet hotspot, with both family and fine dining options. Savour Caribbean classics like the smoky blackened catch of the day and bowls of steaming shrimp broils and juicy baby ribs.

Altamira showcases modern coastal design at its best, with sweeping white walls, neutral colour palettes, soft stone, and white-washed wooden accents. Set beneath a vaulted ceiling, the attractive living room flows onto a delightful lounging deck, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors. You’ll find the freshest seafood in Cruz Bay, which you can rustle up in the state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen or sizzle on the poolside BBQ. A generous al fresco wooden dining table is ready to host your island feasts – perfect for a relaxed sunset supper.

The villa treats guests to four sumptuous ensuite bedrooms, each with a fresh, airy ambience, a beautifully dressed king-size bed, and a captivating tropical outlook. The spa-style ensuites boast a spacious walk-in waterfall shower, ideal for refreshing after a day on the island’s white sandy beaches.

Stylishly furnished outdoor spaces, from the bubbling hot tub to the sparkling private pool, add another dimension of bliss to this island oasis. Tipple in hand, sink into one of the deep outdoor sofas, soothed by the sounds of the waves, and let the stresses and strains drift away at Altamira.
